New Wind Tunnel To Aid Research The first step toward a broaden ed program of' aeronautical in struction was insured today when Harry P. Hammond, dean of the School of Engineering, announced that a wind tunnel is being con structed under the supervision of Prof. William E. Diefenderfer. An answer to a growing demand of students who, are interested in aeronautics, the wind tunnel wiE be powered by a 130-horsepower eight-cylinder internal combustion engine, which wEI drive a propel ler to produce wind velocity up to 125 to 150 miles per hour. Not only will the wind tunnel be used to test effects of various velocities on models of airplanes, but it will test wind strains on model automobiles, houses, or oth er materials. Designed by Professor Diefend erfer, the tunnel will form a rec tangle of 1200 square feet, except for a small space where the model is kept perfectly balanced to meas ure any position relative to the wind stream that an airplane in flight might encounter. •Although an aeronautical cur riculum is not probable for some time, the wind tunnel will help to iEustrate courses in aeronautics and wiE be, used later in student and faculty research.
